Gene - I totally agree w/RK! Creating a Grid on a Form via Visual
Design is really the best way to go - at least in my opinion. And, you
can do it in an interesting an intuitive way.
Create a Form. Right click in the Form and open the Data Environment.
Add a DBF to the D. Env. - and, now - with DBF & its fields displayed in
the D.E. - select a number of the field by clicking - and I think
holding down shift. Then - simply Drag all those selected fields onto
the Form - and you instantly have a Grid that's been populated with the
fields that you need!

Gene,
If you have the What's New In 8,9... books I'd start there. Having said that,
trying to use grids without the GUI designers, at least as a starting point,
sounds like a bit of a challenge.

Dear Vixens and Reynards:
I tried to get into using grids way back in VFP 5 maybe 6, and
they just did not have what I needed. I have been using browses
which have limitations with validation. This has been lived with but
is not ideal.
I want to give it another shot now. What changes have been
made to them over the years, and how should I get started? Note that
I do not use the VFP GUI; I do everything in code. I do have several
Hentzenwerke books so pointers to them would be especially
useful. And of course, any gotchas to watch for.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
